Thermal Imaging Survey in Goatstown
Infrared surveys that show where your home loses heat, where insulation is missing, and where damp is likely. Covering Goatstown, Clonskeagh, UCD and the surrounding area.
Thermal Imaging Surveys for Goatstown homes
In Goatstown, thermal imaging is often how we settle the wall question. Solid-brick period semis, hollow-block post-war houses and cavity-built estate homes all show different heat-loss patterns, and each needs a different wall insulation. The survey also shows attic and floor weaknesses, so you get a complete picture before choosing what to upgrade.
How homes in Goatstown lose heat
The mix of stock means a mix of wall types: solid brick in the older semis, hollow block or early cavity in the post-war homes and cavity in the estates. Getting the wall type right is the key first step here, which a survey settles quickly. Ratings range from C3 in upgraded estate homes to F in untouched period semis.
Typical housing: Period semis toward Clonskeagh, post-war detached homes through the centre, and mid-century estate housing toward Mount Merrion.
How thermal imaging survey works
A thermal imaging camera reads the surface temperature of walls, ceilings, floors and windows. When there is a good temperature difference between inside and outside, heat escaping through a weak spot shows up clearly: a gap in attic insulation, an uninsulated lintel, a cold corner where condensation and mould tend to start, or a draught path around a window frame.
Thermal Imaging Survey in Goatstown: questions
Do you carry out thermal imaging survey in Goatstown?
Yes. We cover Goatstown and the surrounding Dublin area, including Goatstown, Clonskeagh, UCD. Period semis toward Clonskeagh, post-war detached homes through the centre, and mid-century estate housing toward Mount Merrion.
Is there a grant for thermal imaging survey in Goatstown?
There is no standalone SEAI grant for a thermal imaging survey. It is often the cheapest way to make sure grant-funded insulation goes where it does the most good. Grant amounts are set nationally by SEAI and change from time to time, so check seai.ie before applying. We confirm what your home is likely to qualify for during the survey.
When is the best time for a thermal imaging survey?
Thermal imaging needs a clear temperature difference between inside and outside, so the heating season from October to April gives the clearest results. Early morning or evening surveys avoid sunshine warming the walls.
Can a thermal camera see damp?
Damp areas often show as cooler patches because evaporation cools the surface, and cold surfaces are where condensation forms. The camera points to likely problem areas, which we then check with a moisture meter where needed.
Will it show whether my cavity wall insulation is complete?
Yes, gaps or settled areas in cavity fill usually show as warmer patches on the outside of the wall in winter, because more heat escapes through them. It is a quick way to check older fills.
